[PATCH] * doc/misc/eshell.texi (Built-ins): Fix alias description

Dear eamcs developers, eshells current documentation first states
that alias definitions are not saved to an alias file, later that
they are saved to an alias file.  I tested it and the latter is
correct.

Please find attached a patch which fixes this.

Thanks for working on emacs which is really great, Gregor

Thanks, but please push documentation changes to the release branch (I
cherry-picked this one).
